Westmorland and Furness Council expands climate action: school carbon surveys, home energy advice, and 2037 net-zero progress

Westmorland and Furness Council has published its second annual review of the Climate Action Plan, detailing progress toward a 2037 net-zero target. The council expanded the Green Doctor service for home energy advice, completed school building surveys to cut carbon, and launched a digital active travel platform. It also backed retrofitting through national grants and collected mobility aids for reuse in local communities. Beyond buildings and transport, the council is working on an Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy, a Local Nature Recovery Strategy, and the Zero Carbon Cumbria Partnership. Rural business grants and a social enterprise zone are funded through the Shared Prosperity Fund and Rural England Prosperity Fund. The review highlights practical steps across housing, schools, and community engagement, though specific emissions data from the review is not included in the article.
